IIUC, the issue can happen when two concurrent transactions using DirtySnapshot access
the same tuples, which is not specific to the parallel apply. Consider that two
subscriptions exist and publishers modify the same tuple of the same table.
In this case, two workers access the tuple, so one of the changes may be missed
by the scenario you said. I feel we do not need special treatments for parallel
apply.
